Acer's Android Netbook Will Come With Windows, Fail at Being an "Android Netbook"

12-Inch Aspire One to Feature Full Sized Keyboard, Long Battery
Acer is planning the release of an 11.6-inch Aspire One. It's a lot like the 10-inch version, but it will feature the Atom Z530 processor (as opposed to the N270), which as my pea brain understands it, features identical clocks speed to the N270/280s but lower power consumption. The system also features a GMA500 graphics core to deal with HD content, full sized keyboard and a promised 4 to 8 (extended) hours of battery. There's no word on price or availability.
